Ernest Schimmerling

Ernest Schimmerling is a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on set theory, specifically the hierarchy of large cardinal axioms and their applications in mathematics. He has contributed to inner model theory, descriptive set theory, infinitary combinatorics, cardinal arithmetic, and forcing. His work includes significant publications in journals such as the Annals of Pure and Applied Logic and the Journal of Symbolic Logic. Schimmerling's research explores techniques for building inner models for large cardinals, generalizing Goedel’s Constructible Universe, and examining connections between inner model theory and other areas of mathematical logic.
